Editorial Reviews

Review

5 Hearts: "Waiting For Ethan is a wonderful, chilling ghost story. As Joyce and Mack begin to get to know each other, their relationship develops beautifully, with the pace of their sexual relationship going along with the plot of the story. I enjoyed reading about their trials and tribulations, particularly before Mack realizes that Ethan has come back. Although he is concerned about Joyce's mental health, Mack is a true hero and sticks with her. Joyce was an interesting character, with no idea what is happening to her. The lighthouse, a major focus of the plot, is almost a character in itself. Many secondary characters help to cement the plot. Ms. Boris takes an innovative idea and works wonders with it." —Marcy Arbitman, The Romance Studio

"Waiting for Ethan by Cynthia Boris is a captivating paranormal romance. The characters pull the reader into their world, into a page turning tale of lost love. After reading the opening of the first chapter, I couldn't stop. The characters are so real, that you feel as if you know them personally. The unknown, the tension, and sexual attractions consumed me.
     Joyce, the heroine must unravel many mysteries, including who the two men are that both want her: Mack the town rich boy, and Ethan the ghost lover who visits her dreams. Lost love consumes one man while the other searches for his one true love, and Joyce is caught in the middle of their war. This story of passion mesmerized me, keeping me reading the entire book in one read.
     This is the first book I've read by Cynthia Boris, but it won't be my last. The author definitely knows how to weave a paranormal romance tale!" —Deborah A. Hymon, Midnight Passions Paranormal Romances

Could not stop reading this story. The characters are explained and explored, the background comes out in sections that move the story along, and the overall flow is perfect. I loved the idea of the story and the execution was amazing. My only quibble is that at times the change from reality to ghost and back was difficult to follow. The characters come across people you could and probably do know. The interfering friends, the "interesting" relatives, the day to day stresses, all you need to do is add in a ghost who doesn't know.....nope not going to spoil it but this really is a good read.

This is one of those few books that really draws you in. Buyer beware...you may get behind in your work and other responsibilities once you start reading. Cynthia Boris is a masterful writer of suspense with a romantic theme that intensifies the storyline to a climatic ending that stays with you like any great classic story. A must read!
